Contourlet transform is a flexible multiresolution, local and directional image expansion, also provids a sparse representation for two-dimensional piece-wise smooth signals resembling images. Due to lack of translation invariance property in Contourlet transform, the conventional image fusion algorithm based on Contourlet transform introduces many artifacts. According to the theory of cycle spinning applied to image denoising, an invariance transform can reduce the artifacts through a series of processing efficiently. So the technology of cycle spinning is introduced to develop the translation invariant Contourlet fusion algorithm. This method can effectively eliminate the Gibbs-like phenomenon, extract the characteristics of original images, and preserve more important information. Experimental results show the simplicity and effectiveness of the method and its advantages over the conventional approaches.展开更多

First, the sub-band decompositions of non-logarithmically transformed SAR images are shown. Then, a Bayesian wavelet shrinkage factor is applied to the decomposed data to estimate noise-free wavelet coefficients. The method is based on the Mixture Gaussian Distributed （MGD） modeling of sub-band coefficients. Finally, multi-resolution wavelet coefficients are reconstructed by wavelet-threshold using cycle spinning. Experimental results show that the proposed despeclding algorithm is possible to achieve an excellent balance between suppresses speckle effectively and preserves as many image details and sharpness as possible. The new method indicated its higher performance than the other speckle noise reduction techniques and minimizing the effect of pseudo-Gibbs phenomena.展开更多
